Borderless Art Exhibitions Showcasing Global Creativity

NCC’s Borderless exhibitions transcend traditional boundaries, offering a hybrid platform where artists worldwide can display their work.

Redefining Boundaries Through Creativity

Inside the Borderless Exhibition

Welcome to the Borderless Exhibition – a pioneering initiative by the Norwegian Cultural Center that redefines the way art is experienced and shared across the world. At its core, Borderless breaks down geographic and cultural boundaries by showcasing digital artworks simultaneously in two physical gallery spaces located in different cities. This innovative model allows artists to exhibit their work on a global stage, reaching audiences far beyond their local communities.

Complementing the physical exhibitions is an immersive 3D virtual gallery, open to viewers from anywhere in the world. This digital space offers a dynamic, interactive experience that brings together art lovers, collectors, and creators in one shared environment. On this page, you’ll learn more about how the exhibition works, explore its international impact, and discover how you can become part of this growing global movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Borderless is veering away from the traditional model. Because there are artists who prefer to create works at their pace, have 100% of their sales, and co-exhibit with others.
Some artists would like to prioritise showcasing their artworks more than making a sale.
Moreover, our hybrid setup benefits artists overall in building an audience and expanding their artistic network.
We understand that this model may not be for everyone. But there are others who would like to go the unconventional route, and we would like to cater to them.
Regardless of one’s motivation in joining Borderless, the model ensures that the artists are well taken care of.

We value your opinion but we would like to disagree with this statement.
We want our exhibitors to be happy, and we know making a sale is one of the things we have to do. Also, like any other business or organization, we put our people first and at the center of our cause. If our people are not happy, they won’t come back and work with us again. That sounds like a bad business, right? But of course, making a sale is an incredible bonus for the artist, that’s why we are also working hard for that.
The minimal fee we are charging is peanuts compared to the marketing and logistical costs they will have to cover if they do it independently.
We will provide intensive marketing coverage and invite and gather a diverse network in both locations we are exhibiting. And most importantly, the internal programs include a social night and learning talks focusing on our exhibiting artists.

The art gallery may not accept your artwork. They may like it but decide it will not sell.
Some art galleries may want to have some say in the creative process. They may tell you to paint this style or these colors as they know they will sell.
The Art Galleries will usually set the price for the art and what they feel the market can bear. The truth is that by working with an art gallery you are handing the control for the sale of your artwork over to them. You may not have much control over this and you may feel they either under or overprice your work.
The artist must be able to produce so many works of art over a certain period of time. They may restrict where and how the artist can sell their other work or if the work can only be sold through their art gallery.
They may call you a month or so later and tell you to come to pick up your paintings as they did not sell and they do not want them in their gallery.

Borderless is a hybrid international art exhibition that gives artists worldwide the opportunity to showcase their work in both physical galleries and an interactive 3D virtual space—without paying commissions on sales.
